key PORSCHE CAYNNE 2011 2.G Information Manual

At Porsche, we are continually
changing. Looking for a new and
dif ferent approach. Without ever
losing sight of where we’ve come
from. That ’s how we remain true
to ourselves.
The basic Cayenne concept is
therefore the same. We’ve just
continued to improve it: the
Cayenne is
now lighter – up to
165 kg
1) depending on the speci-
fication
– and also more dynamic,
more comfortable, and closer
to the road than ever before.
Without detracting from the

qualities required for off-road
driving or towing heav y loads.
Its naturally aspirated 3.6-litre
V6 engine features direct fuel
injection (DFI, p. 38), variable
valve timing on both inlet and
exhaust, and a variable resonance
intake manifold – for a generous
output and excellent fuel econ-
omy. In other words: we have
enhanced the performance, while
significantly lowering the weight,
fuel consumption and CO
2 emis-
sions. The figures speak for themselves: maximum torque of
400 Nm, 220 kW (300 hp), a top
speed of 230 km/ h (143 mph)
and the abilit y to accelerate
from 0 to 100 km/ h (62 mph) in
7.5 se conds. With both fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions
reduced by 20 %.
1), 2) Delivering
this power to the road efficiently,
Porsche Traction Management
(PTM, p. 44) combines active all-
wheel drive
with an electron ically
variable
multi-plate clutch, auto -
matic brake dif ferential (ABD) and
anti-slip regulation (ASR). PTM
enables the perfect distribution of
drive torque to all four wheels,
whether on long straights, through
tight corners or on surfaces with
dif ferent friction coef ficients: for
dynamic handling
and increased
traction. Drive is transmit ted
through a high-performance
six-speed manual gearbox (p. 42),
which ensures optimum progres-
sion through the gears.
In addition to the standard
18-inch Cayenne wheels and
larger brakes, the Cayenne
can be fit ted with the optional Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB, p. 64) – for out-
standing brake performance.
Another key advantage: a total
weight saving of approximately
50 % compared with equivalent
cast- iron discs.
The generous standard equipment
includes partial-leather seats,
climate control, the CDR-31 audio
system with touchscreen, cruise
control and automatic headlight
activation. For added comfort,
there’s also a ‘Welcome Home’
lighting function. When you arrive
at a destination af ter dark, the
headlights remain illuminated for
a user- defined period, lighting
your path from the car.
So, a unique blend of the great
sports performance and unre-
stricted everyday practicalit y that
is t ypical of Porsche. Let ’s be
honest, would you have expected
any thing else?
Everything has changed. Apart from the concept.

We have always gone our own
way. This is the hallmark
of our
independent spirit. Only thus
can we continue to meet
our high
performance standards. And
yours. For the Cayenne S Hybrid
we chose a highly sophisticated
technical concept. Thanks to
Porsche Intelligent Performance,
it perfectly embodies the key
principle of an alternative drive:
efficiency.
The parallel full hybrid drive
(p. 28) on the Cayenne S Hybrid
features a 3.0 -litre V6
super-
charged engine and an electric
machine (motor/generator) that
provides add itional power on
demand. It offers levels of accel-
eration that are comparable with
a V8 unit, but with a reduction of
up to 22 % in both fuel consump-
tion and CO
2 emissions.1), 2) The
engine delivers 245 kW (333 hp),
while the electric machine gener-
ates 34 kW (47 hp). Working
in tandem, they produce a total
output of 279 kW (380 hp).
With a top speed of 242 km/ h
(150 mph), acceler ation from
0 to 100 km/ h (62 mph) takes
6.5 seconds. Maximum torque
is 580 Nm.
On the parallel full hybrid system,
the electric machine and a
decoupler are integrated directly
into the drivetrain bet ween the
combustion engine and the eight-
speed Tiptronic S. The decoupler
ensures positive engagement with
the combustion engine, thereby
offering several benefits –
both for the driver and the
environment.
Under moderate acceleration, the
electric machine can power the
vehicle independently. In order to
drive quietly through residential
areas, for example. The generator
can also be used to recuperate
energy during braking, i.e. for
charging the bat tery.
In addition, the electric machine
can be used to boost per form-
ance – for faster acceleration.
Other energy-saving features
include the car’s abilit y to glide
along, even when the engine is
turned of f. The hybrid system
therefore also brings significant
advantages when not driving in
urban traffic, as the vehicle can
simply ‘coast’ along many stretches
of road without any power at all. Together with the auto start /stop
function, the parallel full hybrid
system offers exceptional levels
of performance and efficiency.
The ‘hybrid’ designation on the
tailgate and each front wing
alludes to the innovative drive
concept within.
Inside the car, the TFT colour
display in the instrument cluster
provides information on the
current energy flow. Further
driving data is displayed via the
optional Porsche Communication
Management (PCM).
But the greatest benefit of all:
the Cayenne S Hybrid is
a Porsche. And it drives like
one too.
A hybrid is like a good marriage.
Only with two better halves.

Understatement coupled with
clear statements: lower fuel
consumption, faster acceleration.
Supreme engineering that speaks
for itself. In short, every thing
you’d expect from a Turbo.
Another clear statement is the
distinctive sound from the t win
dual-tube tailpipes. Produced by
the 4.8-litre t win -turbo V8 engine
that delivers 368 kW (500 hp)
and features direct fuel injection
(DFI, p. 38). The car has a top
speed of 278 km/ h (173 mph)
and the benchmark sprint from
0 to 100 km/ h (62 mph) is com-
pleted in 4.7 seconds. Maximum
torque is 700 Nm. Here too, fuel
consumption has been reduced
by
23 % and CO2 emissions by
2 5 % .

Optimum traction and safet y are
provided by Porsche Traction
Management (PTM, p. 44) active
all-wheel drive. Also connecting
the car to the road are the 19 -inch Cayenne Turbo wheels.
The chassis on the Cayenne Turbo
is equipped as standard with air
suspension featuring self-levelling
and ride-height control, as well
as Porsche Active Suspension
Management
(PASM, p. 51). This
electronic damping control sys-
tem offers continuous adjustment
of the damping forces
on each
wheel – depending on
current
road conditions and driving st yle.
This enables greater car control,
improving safet y and comfort.
Comfort is also key in the
Cayenne Turbo interior. Standard
equipment comprises an interior
package in smooth-finish leather,
a rooflining in Alcantara and an
electrically adjustable steering
column.
Also fit ted as standard: the
BOSE® Surround Sound System,
Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) with navi-
gation module, adaptive sports
seats with comfort memor y package (18-way), Tyre Pressure
Monitoring (TPM, p. 57), auto -
matic headlight activation and
automatically dimming exterior
and interior mirrors.
Exterior features exclusive to
the Cayenne Turbo include
Bi-Xenon main headlights with
Porsche Dynamic Light System
(PDLS, p. 61), larger air intakes
and a distinctive ‘power dome’ on
the engine lid – a clear reference
to the enormous potential within.
Following our long established
principles,
the Cayenne Turbo
blends phenomenal performance
with outstanding comfort and
efficiency. It does so in st yle but
without ever compromising on
any one in particular. Because we
believe that less can also mean
more.
Reduced weight, lower fuel consumption, fewer emissions.
At Porsche, we believe less is more.

VarioCam Plus.
VarioCam Plus creates t wo en-
gines out of one by steplessly
adjusting the inlet valve timing
and lift.
The system dif ferentiates
bet ween normal road usage and
performance driving, adapting
seamlessly as driver inputs
change. All functions are auto -
matically controlled by the
engine management system.
All you experience is responsive
acceleration and ultra-smooth
running characteristics. Inlet valve
timing is steplessly adjusted. To
improve response when starting
from cold, for example, VarioCam
Plus selects the higher lif t set ting
and retards valve timing.
At medium revs and minimal
load, the valve lif t is lowered and
timing advanced to minimise fuel
consumption and emissions. At
low engine speeds in particular,
VarioCam Plus significantly im-
proves fuel economy. To achieve maximum power and torque, the
valve lif t is raised.
Overall, the system provides
greater performance with rela-
tively modest fuel consumption.
Standard on the Cayenne S
and Cayenne Turbo.
Variable valve timing.
The V6 engine in the Cayenne
features variable valve timing
on both inlet and exhaust.
The camshaft phase angles are continuously varied by
the
engine management system via
rotary-vane adjusters.
On the Cayenne S Hybrid, the
inlet valve timing is continuously
adjusted.
The key benefits include bet ter

response, even at low revs and
road speeds. This is particularly
useful when driving in urban
traf fic. The supercharger has a
low-temperature water cooling
system for cooling the charge air.
Variable Turbine Geometry in
the Cayenne Diesel.
The turbocharger in the
Cayenne Diesel features Variable
Turbine Geometry (V TG). The
gas-flow from the engine is
channelled onto the turbines via
electronically adjustable guide
vanes. By changing the vane
angle, the system can replicate
the geometry in all t ypes of
turbo, large or small , and thus
achieve the optimum gas-flow characteristics. As a result, even
at low engine rpm, the turbine
speed is maximised. For a sig-
nificant increase in boost pres-
sure, excellent cylinder charging
plus greater power and torque.
Electronic engine management.
Cultured performance in all
driving scenarios requires com-
prehensive engine control. The
electronic engine management
system does this by continually
monitoring the relevant input data
from a variet y of sophisticated
sensors. This data is then com-
pared with a corresponding set of
reference values. Based on this
information, a range of key engine
functions, e.g. ignition and in-
jection timings as well as injection
quantities, are seamlessly and
automatically adjusted. Other
major functions include on -board
recuperation. It ensures that the
on -board power supply is only
replenished while the vehicle is
on the overrun. This boosts fuel
economy as well as performance,
and ensures maximum engine
output during acceleration. All
this goes unnoticed by the driver,
apart from the obvious benefits:
lower fuel consumption and CO
2
emissions plus greater power and
torque at all times.
Exhaust system.
The light weight exhaust systems
in the Cayenne models are made
from special, long-life stainless
steel. The key features of the cata-
lysts are high ef ficiency, faster
warm -up and a long service life.
Sports exhaust system.
Available as an option on the
Cayenne and Cayenne S, the
sports exhaust system
1) provides
an even more distinctive sound.
For the looks to match, it comes
with a specially designed set
of t win dual-tube tailpipes with
a high-gloss finish.
All exhaust systems, standard and
sports, comply with the stringent
EU5 emissions legislation.
2)
Turbocharging system in the
Cayenne Turbo.
In the Cayenne Turbo, the engine
is assisted by t win turbocharger
units arranged in parallel –
one for each bank of cylinders.
Incoming air is passed through
a filter and compressed by the
turbine units. Its temperature is
then reduced in the t win inter-
cooler system, which improves
cylinder charging and limits
thermal loads on the engine.
Supercharging system in the
Cayenne S Hybrid.
The engine in the Cayenne S
Hybrid is equipped with a
supercharger. For a more direct
Air intake system.
The Cayenne models are all
equipped with a resonance air
intake system. This technology
uses the pressure waves
generated by the inlet valves
to ‘force’ air into the engine.
The ef fect is enhanced in the
Cayenne and Cayenne S by a
t wo -stage intake manifold. This
variable geometry combines
all the benefits of a long intake
tube (higher torque at low rpm)
with those of a shorter length
(more power at higher rpm).
The result: highly impressive
torque ratings across the entire
engine speed range.

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)
To do this, the engine manage-
ment system adjusts the gener-
ator current depending on the
brake pedal position, recovers
part of the kinetic energy and
stores it in the bat tery. When
the pressure on the brake pedal
exceeds a certain threshold, the
brakes are applied.
Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB).
Available as an option on all
Cayenne models, the Porsche
Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)
has already proven its abilit y to
cope with the harshest require-
ments of the racetrack. It is avail -
able in conjunction with 20-inch
wheels or larger for the Cayenne
Turbo and with 19-inch wheels or
larger for all other Cayenne models.
The discs are made from a
specially treated carbon-fibre
compound that is silicated
in a high-vacuum process at
approximately 1,700 °C. The
resulting material is not only
much harder than cast iron, it
is also more resistant to heat.
Even at high temperatures, the
thermal resistance of the PCCB
disc ensures outstanding dimen-
sional stabilit y. The ceramic
material is totally resistant to
corrosion and offers excellent
acoustic damping properties.
PCCB enables shorter braking
distances – no mat ter how tough
the driving conditions. The pedal
response is fast and precise with
only moderate input required.
Excellent fade resistance ensures
greater balance when slowing
from high speed.The key advantage of PCCB is
a total weight saving of approxi-
mately 50 % compared with
equivalent cast-iron discs. As well
as enhancing performance and
fuel economy, the unsprung and
rotating masses are lightened.
The results: greater comfort
and road-holding on uneven road surfaces plus bet ter handling
and agility.
Optional for all Cayenne
models.
Recuperation.
The electronic engine manage-
ment system on the Cayenne S
Hybrid controls the braking
process so that, when the brake
pedal is actuated, as much
expended energy as possible
can be harnessed by the electric
machine’s generator and stored
in the 288-volt nickel metal
hydride (NiMH) bat tery. This is
referred to as recuperation.

are also available as an option.Two impact sensors are located
at the front of the car to enable
bet ter detection of a head-on
collision. The driver and front
passenger airbags use a gas
generant based on an organic
propellant. As a result, the air-
bags are lighter, more compact
and easier to recycle. A roll-over
detection system provides
additional protection in the event
that the car were to overturn.

Weight reduction is a key aspect
of our design philosophy derived
from our rich racing heritage.
Part of our R&D Centre, the
Motorsport Department is locat-
ed in Weissach where it shares
premises with the Automotive Industry Exhaust Emission Centre
(ADA).
Just a coincidence? We call
it symbiosis.
In practice: the Cayenne is up
to 185 kg lighter, depending on
the model.
1) This was achieved
through new weight-saving devel-
opments and materials, new pro -
duction technologies, advanced
functionalities and concept
modifications. By using lighter materials, for example, we have
halved the weight of the tailgate.
New materials are also a feature
of the axle construction, with
steel being replaced where pos-
sible by light weight alter natives
such as aluminium and plastic.
The benefits for the driver:
greater agilit y and driving
dynamics – with lower fuel
consumption. Ef ficiency at
its best.
This is achieved using advanced
engine concepts featuring tech-
nologies such as DFI (p. 38),
VarioCam Plus (p. 37), the auto
start /stop function (p. 36), the
parallel full hybrid drive and con-
sistent light weight construction.The concept behind every car we
build is based around the pursuit
of performance. This has been
the case since 1948. Another
of our traditional core values
is efficiency. At Porsche, we
are continually striving to find a
successful balance bet ween
the t wo.
Great achievements are something to be proud of.
Even more so if they benefit the world around you.
